Detectives have been granted further additional time to speak to a man in his 20s who was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault of a woman.
The suspect was detained in custody on Sunday (30 January) afternoon after we became aware of online social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence.
He continues to be questioned after magistrates authorised an extension until tomorrow (Wednesday 2 February).
Following enquiries so far, he has since been further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill.
Enquiries are ongoing and the victim continues to be offered specialist support.
We remind people to avoid any commentary or sharing of images that could compromise the victim's right to lifelong anonymity, or risk prejudicing a live investigation with active proceedings.
If you're a victim of domestic abuse, or are concerned about someone you know, please use our online reporting facility or use our LiveChat facility on our website, or call 101.
In an emergency that's on-going or life is in danger, always dial 999.
Some victims may not feel comfortable speaking with the police, or may feel they need support to come forward and make a report. Greater Manchester Victims’ Services can provide independent emotional and practical support for anyone affected by crime.
You can contact the service by visiting the website on https://www.gmvictims.org.uk/ or calling 0161 200 1950.
